too, in case I don't already have it. Availability is based on a first come,

included with them, a statement of how much money (usually $2.00/share of

treasurer to defray our costs for packing and first-class, priority-mail, or
international postage.

From Kathleen Sayce:

17. Colchicum autumnale bulbs have spread vigorously and are mostly pretty
large, pink flowering, typical of the species. They were originally
purchased from either a local nursery, on a rack, or ordered from a bulb
grower.

18. Hyacinthoides xmassartina bulbs are from plantings done 50-100 years ago
in my yard. There are also seeds. Colors are blue, pink and white, mixed.

19. Ixia 'Garden Gems' bulbs are white flowered, from a rack, mixed sizes.
Can't tell you the species. They were sold to me as Ixia 'Garden Gems" or
Cornlily Garden Gems. 

Thank you, Jim, Mary Sue, Lynn, Matt, and Kathleen !!

Best wishes,
Dell
